    Cougar Conquer Case Review

    Thanks very much, Crashman! Now I just have to figure out if I can mod in an optical disk easily, since I'm a Luddite that still wants one. (Yes, misuse of Luddite. ;-P ) If nothing else just use an external and place it underneath that center gap between the case legs with the tray turned...

    Cougar Conquer Case Review

    Sorry, I should have been more specific. MSI X99S X-power AC from Haswell-E/Broadwell-E days, dimensions are 12"x10.7".

    Cougar Conquer Case Review

    Could you please clarify about the 'could fit EATX motherboard but no support'? (Paraphrasing). I've seriously considered re-housing my current build into this case with the one exception being I have the MSI X-power AC EATX motherboard, and all the specs for the case promise only ATX...

    Your table bottom row seems to be flipping the $$ of the Vive and the Rift by including a price with/without touch for the Vive.

    3D XPoint SSD Pictured, Performance And Endurance Revealed At FMS

    ....or the boards were designed for 4 packages each but only 2 positions were populated and I'm seeing the landing pads for the 2 not placed. ;-) But that wouldn't equate to the die density statement from Micron. Hm....

    3D XPoint SSD Pictured, Performance And Endurance Revealed At FMS

    " the four chips on the two daughterboards are the first 3D XPoint packages we have seen in the wild. The packages are unmarked, but the overall capacity of the PCIe 3.0 x8 card weighs in at 128 GB. We are unsure if there are more packages on the board, as our time with the prototype was short...

    Intel Demonstrates 3D XPoint Optane SSD At Computex, Kaby Lake Details Emerge

    So is the intent of having Xpoint DIMM slots in addition to existing DIMM slots, or instead of (either/or voltage supply or whatnot)? Imagine a compute workstation with 8 slots now that can be populated up to say 256GB RAM running something really intensive like finite element simulation. I...

    Beta SteamVR Interface Is Easy To Navigate, Offers Plenty Of Customization

    SteamVR backdrop, instead of being a static 360deg image, NEEDS to be some sort of rendered environment, even if it's nothing more than Minecrafty blocks moving around or low-rez pixel fish in an aquarium. Think of Android's "Live Wallpaper" but in VR. PLEASE!

    EKWB Wasted No Time Preparing A Fury X Water Block

    Single-slot nice. If the OEM 120x1 cooler is enough for one, presumably a custom loop with 120x3 would cool 2 in Crossfire just fine. Wonder if EKWB is working on an alternate backplate too...Tom's review indicated it was a problem for the first PCIE slot on the MSI X99A Xpower motherboard...
